gas processing

Gas processing is the series of steps used to clean and prepare natural gas so it can be safely transported and used. It involves removing impurities such as water, carbon dioxide, sulfur compounds, and hydrocarbons like ethane or propane. This ensures the gas meets quality standards and reduces the risk of corrosion or blockages in pipelines and end-use equipment. The process often includes separation, compression, and sometimes additional treatment depending on the intended final use, whether for heating, electricity, or as a feedstock for chemicals. Overall, gas processing ensures the natural gas is safe, efficient, and suitable for consumer and industrial applications.
